Very good intro course for beginners. I would say it’s not quite detailed enough for intermediate fruit growers.

Very engaging for a short course with a knowledgeable instructor. The provided resources are an excellent addition to the videos. The videos themselves could have provided a tad more detail, but were enjoyable nonetheless. I look forward to starting my small orchard after taking this course!

It was short and informative. Was not like the other long boring courses. I wished only if it had some practical live examples but still it did not matter much.

Good short course for some one who is looking for a generalized look at what is involved in growing and looking after fruit trees. I guess I will have to enroll in one of the workshops from her website to get the more in depth and helpful information I am looking for.

I got a lot of info and now I understand that it isn't putting a fruit tree in the ground and you get fruit, in fact you need to put a lot of work into it but that's all right since it'll make the harvest sweeter

I was hoping for more tips on pests and diseases, and how to combat them. I was already familiar with pruning techniques and why it is necessary. However, the idea of pulling the fruit off the tree for the first two years was new to me, as was the information that summer pruning of trees can control growth.

Yes. It's important to know location, pest resistant, and knowing to help the tree develop it's root system.

When do you prune in summer and winter? How to identify diseases and how to cure them? I am an amateur with fruit trees and the titles of the sections are misleading. I think this could've been greatly expanded and I would've gladly paid. This just seems like an attempt to move people to your site instead of a course per udemy is known.

Did not learn anything. You told us there were eight steps for pruning but did not describe them. You said that location was important, but did not talk about sun, wind, and climate zones. I think this was an advertising for something else, but I don't know what. Everything is really, really important, but I will not tell you anything

Corto pero bastante interesante. Muestra los cuidados básicos de cualquier árbol frutal que tengamos y, aunque pueda parecer algo que todo el mundo sabe, son fáciles de olvidar. Muy contento.
